Have made it to the 800 mile mark.  Still having fun and enjoying the hobo life. Had a bit of a scare recently with some bad knee pain but after some vitamin I (ibuprofen) and a day off i was back to feeling good. Weather is getting warmer and more bugs. The miles and effort is starting to wear on people. In the last two weeks 7 people in our close realm have called it quits.

All is well here on APFARM. Cold Spring. Lot's of rain. Keep up the good work. Mark thinks that you are starting to look like Forrest Gump. When you get to Maine we will take you out to dinner.

About Frank

Frank, a Father of 3, Papa of 7 never sits still for long! He is passionate about exploring and conquering new quests and is always looking forward to the next one!

In 2019, Frank embarked on his life long dream of hiking the AT, which he accomplished over a 5 month period! Just over a year later, in November 2020, he spent 8 weeks biking from San Diego, CA to New Smyrna Beach, FL.

Ten months after returning home, in November of 2021, Frank was diagnosed with a rare form of Lymphoma. The outlook was not promising, but Frank prevailed and is doing better than ever! It was one more conquered quest , albeit unplanned. 

He is now embarking on a canoe trip along the Missouri River and will be raising money and awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
